Jackson was afforded ample time and space (ATS) on 10 of 31 (32%) drop backs resulting in a pass or sack. With ATS, he completed 7 of 10 for 111 yards (11.1 YPP).

He delivered the ball before pressure could develop (BOQ) 8 times (26%) with 3 complete for 25 yards (3.1 YPP).  He was pressured 13 times (42%), on which he completed 6 of 13 passes for 81 net yards (6.2 YPP).  In total, Jackson overperformed his opportunity set by 38 yards (actual 217, expected 179), which is 1.2 yards per play above expectation.

By number of pass rushers:

3:  none

4:  15 plays, 102 net yards, 6.8 YPP

5:  11 plays, 72 net yards, 6.5 YPP

6:  4 plays, 43 yards, 10.8 YPP

7:  1 play, 0 yards

The Browns averaged 4.71 pass rushers per play.

In response, the Ravens used 28 eligible receiver blocks (18 set, 10 chip, 0.90 per play) which is a high number necessitated by the off-ball blitzes sent by the Browns.

OL Scoring

The Ravens ran 66 scored snaps (excludes accepted penalties which result in no play, kneels, spikes, and special teams plays that result in a run or pass).

Stanley:  Ronnie had a solid game vs Myles Garrett.  He was party to 5 pressure events (bulled by DE Garrett, ½ pressure, Q1, 5:30; bulled by Garrett, pressure, Q2, 11:08; failed to negotiate stunt handoff with Cleveland, ½ pressure, Q2, 3:54; bulled by Garrett, pressure, Q2, 0:12; bulled by DE Thomas to phone booth pocket, 1/3 QH, Q3, 7:36).  Lamar also ran him out of 1 pressure (Q1, 11:29). Of his 6 missed blocks, 2 were losses at the LoS.  He had 4 blocks in level 2 and did not deliver a pancake.  He scored a courtesy point on his only pull.  His highlight was a combination block on DT Hall then LB Diabate.

Scoring:  66 plays, 55 blocks, 6 missed, 3 (2 + 2 * ½) pressures, 1/3 QH, 48 points (.73 per play).  That’s a B after adjustment.

Vorhees:  Andrew had his best game as a professional.  His only negative event was a shared penetration (failed to pick up LB Watson in left A-gap, Q4, 9:26). He was flagged for holding Kamara (Q3, 12:33) which negated a 12-yard run by Henry. His only missed block was a loss at the LoS.  He had 4 blocks in level 2 and delivered 2 pancakes.  He connected on all 3 of his pulls.  He had 2 highlights, 1 combination block and 1 on which he made 2 blocks at the LoS.

Scoring:  45 plays, 43 blocks, 1 missed, ½ penetration, 1 offensive holding, 37 points (.82 per play).  That’s a B with adjustment.

Vorhees may not start another game this season, but his play in this game has positive portent for the Ravens 2025 OL.

Linderbaum:  Tyler struggled, primarily with Sam Kamara.  He was party to 3 pressure events (bulled by DE Kamara, pressure, Q3, 9:55; bulled by Kamara which made stunt handoff impossible, 2/3 QH, Q3, 7:36; bulled by Kamara, pressure, Q3, 4:03).  Of his 11 missed blocks, 9 were losses at the LoS. He had 6 blocks in level 2 and delivered 1 pancake.  He connected on his only pull. He did not have a highlight.

Scoring: 66 plays, 52 blocks, 11 missed, 2 pressures, 2/3 QH, 46 points (.70 per play).  That’s a D after adjustment.

Faalele:  Daniel had his second consecutive good game.  He was party to 3 negative events (late to pick up DE Okoronkwo, ½ pressure, Q2, 3:47; beaten inside by Kamara, penetration, Q3, 11:24; beaten outside by Okoronkwo, pressure, Q3, 3:25). Of his 6 missed blocks, 4 were losses at the LoS.  He connected on all 4 of his pulls.  He had 4 blocks in level 2 and delivered 3 pancakes. His highlight was a combination block (Q4, 2:16).

Scoring:  66 plays, 57 blocks, 6 missed, 1 penetration, 1.5 pressures, 52 points (.79 per play). That’s a B- with adjustment.

Over the last 3 games, Daniel has an aggregate raw score of .85 which would put him on the B+/A- border after adjustment.

Rosengarten:  Roger continued his run of fine play.  He was party to 3 negative events (failed to pick up the blitzing Delpit, ½ pressure, Q2, 3:47; beaten inside by DE Houston, pressure, Q2, 0:38; beaten outside by Thomas, ½ penetration, Q4, 9:26). He was also run out of 2 pressures by Lamar. Of his 6 missed blocks, those 2 evaded pressures were losses at the LoS.  He had 8 blocks in level 2 and delivered 1 pancake. He connected on his only pull. His highlight was a combination block, Q2, 1:47). 

Scoring:  66 plays, 58 blocks, 6 missed, ½ penetration, 1.5 pressures, 1 false start, 52 points (.79 per play).  That’s a B with adjustment.

Over the last 6 games, Rosengarten has a combined raw score of .79 which is a mid to high B for the period after adjustment.  It’s still not clear to me that he’ll be ready to move to LT in 2025, but it’s still an option the Ravens may consider.

Mekari:  Patrick played only the first series (6 snaps) and made 5 blocks.

Cleveland: Ben played 16 snaps at LG and made 13 blocks and allowed 2 shared pressures.
